Ordered that motion is:  Granted If document is to be filed, document due:  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ Appellants’ unopposed motion for the extension of time to file their notice of appeal, because they mistakenly viewed the trial court’s October 3, 2014 Transocean order to be a final judgment instead of an interlocutory order, is granted because their mistake is a reasonable explanation.
